Real Estate Timing - Not Prediction

It’s important to be clear that when I talk about using real estate timing to analyze market cycles to time your real estate investing I am NOT talking about predicting the real estate market. A prediction is nothing more than an educated guess, or sometimes not even educated. Remember Jim Cramer? “Bear Stearns is Fine! Don’t move your money from Bear. That’s just being silly!”

Jim Cramer talks about the stock market but it really isn’t that different from real estate. As soon as you try to make a prediction you are moving into the field of speculation and guess work. That may work for some people in real estate investing, but not for me.

The market momentum charts at REMarketStats tell us a market’s current actual situation. What is going on right now in that market. What makes this useful is that this information precedes public knowledge and behavior typically anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Particularly during the peak and bottom of the cycle when we want to take action. So we aren’t precicting with real estate timing, we are making use of market analysis data that tells us what is actually going on before most people know about it. This allows us to buy and sell at optimum times, the times that are going to make us the most money. Want to learn more about how real estate timing and market momentum works? Take a look at the real estate timing videos on our website. We show you actual examples of markets as well as how to interpret the market momentum charts.
